Just a reminder....
Horizon cooperating in probe of cockpit videos
Horizon Air says it is cooperating in an FAA investigation of YouTube videos allegedly shot from the cockpit of Horizon flights during takeoff and landing. Federal regulations ban the use of electronic devices during takeoff and landing, and flight crews are prohibited from engaging in any distracting activities under 10,000 feet. "We do not condone anything like that," a Horizon spokesperson said, noting that the videos had been removed from the Web site. "We were all over it right away and immediately talked to our entire pilot crew." Seattle Post-Intelligencer (10/7)

Filming yourself doing something illegal in an aircraft is akin to making a sex video... It will end up on the internet and it will come back to haunt you.
The article says any distracting activities under 10,000 are prohibited, it fails to mention the exemption for cruise flight. Not that anybody else around here except for me routinely cruises in a 121 transport below 10k.
